Go back to post 13. I said history WILL tell the story of where we're going from here.

Yes, and what has happened in the past (history) should tell us about the real aims of the groups involved in this conflict. You don't seem to have a good grasp of that IMHO.

If you don't learn from history, you're doomed to repeat it? Is that what you mean. Oh, but wait. History has been obliterated and re-written. But then you maybe missed the part about all the bookplates that were called in and melted to aid in the war against the Nazi's and Japanese. I challenge you to find a book written, regarding the pre-first-or-second-world-war world that was published earlier than the 1950's. (Incidentally, some do still exist but they're rarer than hen's teeth).
